The Mighty Quinn
According to Wikipedia:
The song is a tale with vaguely psychedelic lyrics. The subject of the song is the arrival of the mighty Quinn (an eskimo), who changes despair into joy and chaos into rest, and attracts attention from the animals. The metaphorical lyrics have prompted suggestions that Quinn is God, a drug dealer, or simply a village elder. Dylan himself has said that the title character refers to actor Anthony Quinn's role as an Eskimo in the 1959 movie The Savage Innocents. Dylan has also been quoted as saying that the song was nothing more than a "simple nursery rhyme".
It's probably just another acid trip song...  |

There is a movie starring Denzel Washington as Quinn, set in the Carribean. Yes, they used the soundtrack.
He doesn't look like any eskimos that i have ever seen.
